Why do MPC and 2C4U seem to be the same character?
August 23, 2011 7:53 pm at 7:53 pm in reply to: Divorced and Remarried Woman–didn't cut her losses #801438HachamMemberI think it would be fair to say that if the coin had been reversed, and the OP had been complaining about a vindictive ex-husband, rather than a vindictive ex-wife, that many of the same people beating up on the OP for “not knowing the ex-wife’s side of the story” would NOT have had the same reaction and cried about “not knowing the ex-husband’s side of the story”.
August 23, 2011 6:33 pm at 6:33 pm in reply to: Earthquake in Brooklyn! (and surrounding out-of-town places) #801327HachamMemberWas felt in Toronto and other parts of Canada too.
HachamMemberBTW, the majority of Americans living in Israel are New Yorkers. So I would have to say Abe is correct in that NYers are quicker to move to EY, while OOTers are too comfortable where they are.
HachamMemberWhat are the Gedolim of the past 2000 years and the Gedolim of today’s “excuse”?
HachamMemberNext excuse.
One doesn’t need any excuses.
HachamMemberOf course shidduchim are more numerous in NY.
August 23, 2011 12:28 pm at 12:28 pm in reply to: Bishul Yisroel, Pas Yisroel, Cholov Yisroel #808385HachamMemberold man: You need some respect for the Poskim of Klal Yisroel, the Bach and those since. You aren’t anyone to challange the Bach. Nor do you have subsequent Ashkenazic poskim who dispute it. So you have no grounds, and your “opinions” are without meaning.
August 23, 2011 12:23 pm at 12:23 pm in reply to: Divorced and Remarried Woman–didn't cut her losses #801418HachamMemberObviously a witch. What more is there to say unfortunately?
August 23, 2011 12:24 am at 12:24 am in reply to: Does taking on more chumros make one a greater tzaddik? #801112HachamMemberHachamMemberJews always wore a hat or other head covering. (Aside/addition to a yarmulka.) The only thing that changed over time was what type of hat or other head covering it was.
HachamMemberHaving “read books on the history of psak” is absolutely meaningless. Show us teshuvos, not history lessons.
HachamMemberanon: The Jews always dressed differently than the goyim. Only the details of how they dressed differently have changed over time.
August 22, 2011 8:05 pm at 8:05 pm in reply to: If Im the ony one to give complete down payment to children… #800748HachamMemberOf course if the house is in the mother-in-laws name, the son may decide he doesn’t want to pay the monthly mortgage for a house he doesn’t own — and rather his mother-in-law, who doesn’t trust him, owns. Why should he pay for his mother-in-laws house?
August 22, 2011 6:41 pm at 6:41 pm in reply to: Does taking on more chumros make one a greater tzaddik? #801089HachamMemberIf someone makes geders, fences, to keep him away from where he shouldn’t be, that is very praiseworthy.
HachamMemberSephardim and Ashkenazim have different customs regarding Chodosh.
The Bach didn’t premise his psak on the availability of Yoshon. And speculating whether it was or wasn’t available in his (or the Rema’s) is entirely pointless.
The Bach’s ruling stands. (Especially considering few or none of the contemporary Gedolei Poskim in Ashkenaz challenge it today.)
HachamMemberMany of the things being mentioned closed only in the last few years.
HachamMemberanon1m0us: In Egypt the Jews dressed differently than the goyim, and today with their hats and jackets dress differently than the goyim. We should always dress differently than the goyim.
HachamMemberYoshon wasn’t available in the Bach or Rema’s time?
HachamMemberHow could anyone consider someone who wears a yarmulka while parading in the toeiva parade while proudly waving the toeiva rainbow flag??
August 22, 2011 12:35 pm at 12:35 pm in reply to: If Im the ony one to give complete down payment to children… #800739HachamMemberThe most “tactful way” to tell your son-in-law that you don’t trust him, don’t trust his marriage to your daughter, but want him to pay the monthly mortgage payments on a house that you refuse to allow be his (i.e. he should pay someone else’s monthly mortgage payments) and you want to enforce that he forever live in your neighborhood?
Just be honest with him. You truly give mother-in-laws the good name they are known for.
August 22, 2011 4:52 am at 4:52 am in reply to: If Im the ony one to give complete down payment to children… #800734HachamMemberI’m not sure why aries is bringing pre-nups into the discussion, especially considering that the OP is discussing an existing marriage not a pending one, nevertheless since the point was raised it is incumbant that it be pointed out that Rav Elyashev paskened that if there is a rca-type prenup involved, then any subsequent get may halachicly be considered a “get me’usa” and thus potentially a halachicly invalid get, and any subsequent children of hers (if she remarries based on it) mamzeirim.
August 22, 2011 1:37 am at 1:37 am in reply to: If Im the ony one to give complete down payment to children… #800728HachamMemberThe larger issue is this woman’s mistrust of her own son-in-law, to the point of pre-anticipating a divorce. The second issue is her controlling nature in attempting for force them to live in her neighborhood, by provisioning a recall of the money if they G-d forbid decide to live elsewhere, without Mrs. Mother-in-laws pre-approval.
HachamMemberShe is supposed to follow her husband’s minhag on candle lighting and hair covering, just like everything else.
August 22, 2011 12:24 am at 12:24 am in reply to: If Im the ony one to give complete down payment to children… #800725HachamMemberThere is no reason the son-in-law should be paying the mortgage, with his income, for a house that is being made clear is not his. Perhaps Mrs. Mother-in-Law has the income to be making the monthly mortgage payments.
August 21, 2011 11:39 pm at 11:39 pm in reply to: You are what you bring into your home! (For movie watchers…) #800819HachamMemberThe Internet has a filter at the ISP level that prevents any sites that are not on the approved list. No TV has that. You C”V bring a TV into your home, you can be absolutely certain of the negative consequences both you and your family will inevitably suffer. Same with movies. Other — perhaps — than cartoons, no movie running in the theatures in the last 20 years have been kosher. Full of all the things I mentioned.
cinderella: At least you are on the level to admit that movies are a “big yeitzer hara”. Some people bury their head in the sand so deep they can’t even yet see that. Now you need just working on eliminating that yeitzer hara.
August 21, 2011 11:34 pm at 11:34 pm in reply to: If Im the ony one to give complete down payment to children… #800721HachamMemberI second flyer’s comment. I am appalled at the OP’s attitude.
If you try to pull off this stunt, I hope your son-in-law makes clear he will not be paying the monthly mortgage for the house you refuse to allow to be in his name.
HachamMemberThere is no “correct” or “incorrect” way to transliterate Hebrew to English. There are no formal rules.
August 21, 2011 11:05 pm at 11:05 pm in reply to: Kohanim not being able to go to exhibits with real dead people. #800205HachamMemberCan a Kohein be a Hatzalah member, considering that will place him in hospitals with the deceased often?
HachamMemberRav Moshe’s word is generally the final word in Chutz L’Aretz, and generally in Eretz Yisroel as well. On this matter, as well as most others. Rav Waldenberg’s position on this matter is not generally accepted as a rule, in deference to Rav Moshe’s whose is.
August 21, 2011 10:52 pm at 10:52 pm in reply to: You are what you bring into your home! (For movie watchers…) #800816HachamMemberMovies and TV are full of pritzus, violence, shmutz, immorality, promotion of bad behavior, toeiva, and much much worse.
HachamMemberPersonally, I believe Jewish men should wear their hat anytime they are in public. Aside it being the traditional dress of Jewish men to always wear a hat, it makes a distinction between Jew and Gentile, as our clothes always have throughout our history from Egypt on.
HachamMemberWhy should anyone go away for Shabbos Nachamu? Is something wrong with home sweet home?
HachamMemberIsn’t the CR more fun anyways? Plus, it’s real time, not just weekly.
HachamMemberSo what’s the point? The equipment the CY milk goes through isn’t Cholov Yisroel anyways.
HachamMemberNo. Just like you shouldn’t daven to win the lottery or be able to afford a Lexus or to have Strawberry ice cream for dessert.
HachamMemberapy: The stores do not report to anyone which brands they sold with WIC. So neither the government nor the manufacturers know how much was sold under WIC.
HachamMemberNahapochu: What are you talking about? No one respected him less for that. Many respected him more for that.
HachamMemberNahapochu: What are you talking about? No one respected him less for that. Many respected him more for that.
HachamMemberp.s. the next time i went to that store, the owner told me that tropicana was not a choice anymore.
Actually Tropicana IS a choice. The “juice” food on the check allows ANY BRAND. (Unlike cereal, formula, and some other food items.) The problem with Tropicana is they reduced their juice bottles from 64 oz. to 59 oz. and the checks specify 64 oz. juice bottle.
HachamMemberCertainly more authentic than Sefardim or Ashkenazim. In any event, there is no greater claim to authenticity or originality between the Sefardim and Ashkenazim.
HachamMemberI don’t understand the Raavad’s kasha. By an unintentional murder we permit his blood to the goel hadam even if there is NO witnesses (and he admits he killed someone unintentionally), no? So why should an intentional murderer need a higher standard than an unintentional killer?
HachamMemberCol sheKain an intentional killer is a “marked man”.
IOW, an intentional killer who beis din can’t execute (i.e. no hasra or only one witness) can be killed by the goel hadam.
HachamMemberI find almost all of the Jewish entertainment industry performers to be lacking in their activities.
HachamMemberef: They restrict it to certain brands because those manafacturers pay the State to do that. i.e. Kellog’s only but no General Mills.
HachamMemberYehuda: Your argument should be everyone should adapt the Temanim’s dress.
Anyways, I don’t buy the argument that since the weather in Syria is closer to the weather in E. Yisroel they were more likely to be wearing clothing similar to the Beis Hamikdash era than people dealing with the weather in France.
Also, we are not indigenous to Syria or Iraq.
HachamMemberSo the Rambam is saying that the Goel Hadam can kill a murderer who didn’t receive hasra or only had one witness. Does the Beis Din, when acquitting the perpetrator from the death penalty (due to a lack of warning), still issue a determination of guilt on the defendent that, even though he is not executed, he is not acquitted? And then the Goel Hadam can kill the murderer who didn’t receive hasra (or only had one witness).
HachamMemberWelcome to the summer.
HachamMemberThe tradition of the Jews from Spain (the Sephardim) is that they arrived in Spain after the FIRST Churban Beis Hamikdash.
HachamMemberIs the consensus that the Goel Hadam can exact revenge on an intentional murderer who doesn’t have the protection of the Ir Miklat? (As ajewfrommonsey maintains.)
